Am I the only one who thinks that when I head over to the "Dashboard" button that there should be something RD themed there?

I saw this cool picture of Tia snuggled up with the Great White (ghost?) Buffalo. I think I've found another one of her "cousins" that she may get along with better.

Apparently, more people have found my story by following a link at http://forums.spacebattles.com/ (20) than via google (17). Weird.

While washing the dishes from dinner last night I had a very silly idea for a follow up story within the same continuity as Titanomachy:

Apple Bloom vs. the Evil Pig.

As I said, silly.

So, this is it. The story has finally reached the point where Twilight enter's Tartarus. Resarching this bit has been fun but it turns out that most of the popular conceptions that we think about greco/roman underworlds are about Hades. The River Styx, the tale of Persephone, and the journey of Orphius all took place in Hades.

I'm pretty proud of splicing the old bell-magic plotline from Tambelton/Grogar into my story. I like the idea of bells being a form of crafted magic (See Garth Nix) but the true value and power of the bells having been forgotten centuries ago. All that is left is a cultural notion that bells are important, that they denote status, maybe they are believed to even grant good luck or some protection.

Based on comments and my own thoughts I've come to a conclusion. I have no (buy some apples) idea how to tag my story Titanomachy. There's humor peppered throughout, there's dark influences, there's a little bit o' light shipping, there are plans on epic journies and dark truths to be revealed but it doesn't seem to fit any particular genre. Any suggestions or advice?

Here's a Celestia chapter. It's about 50% longer than my usual chapters and took a long time to write. No pressure with this many people reading the story. Nope, no pressure at all. :|
